USB Powered

The HP 1300 has a built-in microphone, as do most of the other similar spec webcams that have been on the market for more than two years.

We compared this webcam to all the other webcams with a built-in microphone and we think the Foscam FI8918W[plb_1716234_price] which has better reviews; or the Logitech C920[plb_363535_price] which is cheaper are also worth considering.

Other webcams which also have a built-in microphone that you might also want to look at include the LG AN-VC500[plb_1625985_price].
